The "Creative Frenzy" project is designed to improve the quality of life for elderly community members by developing fine motor skills to maintain their cognitive abilities, as well as by fostering their creative talents.

Project Description:

The project has been running since 2018. Within the project, elderly community members are trained in the art of wood carving and subsequently work in the workshop to create various wooden crafts.
